Diagnosis
A complete lack of power points to an internal electrical failure, a tripped thermal fuse, or a problem with the lid switch circuit (which controls power).
How to Fix It
1) Unplug the washer and wait 60 seconds. Plug it back in firmly. Sometimes the control board just needs a hard reset. 2) With the machine plugged in, open and close the lid firmly several times while listening for a faint click from the lid lock mechanism. No click might mean a failed lid switch is killing all power. 3) Check the power cord where it enters the machine for any damage or loose connections.
If That Didn't Work
There's a thermal fuse on the main control board that can blow if the washer overheats. It's a one-time fuse, and if it's blown, the board gets no power. Testing or replacing this requires removing the console and some basic multimeter skills. A blown thermal fuse often indicates another problem that caused overheating.
Heads Up
Before you dive into internal components, double-check that the wall outlet is truly live by plugging in a lamp or phone charger. Also, ensure no other appliance on the same circuit (like a fridge) has tripped a household breaker. It sounds obvious, but it's the most common fix.
